Interview with a Vampire by Anna Rice

[Laure]

I chose Interview with the Vampire because a couple of friends recommanded it to me and gave it to me for my birthday. As it fits in this theme, I chose it! I saw the movie a few years ago, I didn't remember very well. I just know that is an old movie (I'm not a big fan of old movie, espicially because of their aspect, you know images are not very clean, I know HQ did not exist but... It bothers me) Anyway, I hope the memory of the movie won't bother me to the reading, I will see what I think about it. I begin tonight! (I'm not sure about the week but I prefer to have a head start because some book of my list can be pretty big, or I can be busy after or what so...)

"Old movie". I was something like 15 years old when I saw it xD Thanks, now I feel very old :p

Interview with a vampire was not my favorite in the Anne Rice's series (don't ask me the one I prefered, it was a long time ago and now I'm a very old lady :p Anyway I liked The Vampire Lestat and The Queen of the Damned because of the vampire history parts, and didn't enjoy the sequels).
I read Interview shortly after seeing the movie and found them differents. The movie has more humor (and Brad Pitt :D).

SORRY I WOULD NOT MEAN THAT YOU'RE OLD! It's just the graphic aspect of the movie, compared to what we have know! That's all x)
I've got Lestat too, by the same friends! I will read it later. And I didn't now Anne Rice until now so I can't judge about her work. I will watch again the movie after fishing the book because I like to compared to two :)

No problem, you'll have your turn in 15 years when the kids will tell you how old LotR and Harry Potter movies are :p

Anne Rice was a great writer at this time and she described well "true" vampires (because, well, I've problems with the new ones who go in highschool... If I was a 100 years old vampire, I'm pretty sure I would have kill all the teenagers, after one week :p).
I'm looking forward to your review on Interview, it will be interesting to know how "dark" vampires are liked today :)

[Laure]

Oh god I don't want to imagine that!
I very hope I will enjoy it. And I already know what a real vampire looks like ;) I read Dracula! Ahah

[Zaz, Mood Minion]

Ah, Dracula. This is old :p I tried to read it but was all along: "Dude, this man is a vampire, you have run away". So I couldn't continue it. I'll retry it in 40 years :p
Lestat is a lot more sexy :D

I have to admit it was not very, I don't know how to say it but it was pretty slowly. But it's a classic, that's why I read it. And also before it was my "vampire time" and I wanted to know the start or nearly of this legend :)

I loved Interview With A Vampire, but it wasn't my favorite by her. That would be Blood and Gold. My copy is so worn and tattered now.

Which Lestat book are you talking about? I only ask because she just released a new one and those are ones you sort of want to read in order

But seriously....Blood and Gold. read it.

I loved this book and loved the movie adaptation too - I think it was done brilliantly. I was at uni when the movie came out ... so I'm an old lady too. :(

I'm reading this book later in the challenge. I've read other Anne Rice but not this particular series. I did see and love the movie when it came out. Guess that makes me old too. Lol
